Morning: Meet guests at "Manas" International Airport (FRU) and transfer to a hotel in Bishkek. A short rest and time for breakfast.
Lunch/Day: We head to the legendary Ala-Archa National Nature Park, located just 40 km from Bishkek. We leave closer to lunch to catch the soft daylight. This is one of the most picturesque gorges of the Kyrgyz Range, where you can see mighty Tian Shan spruce trees, snow-capped peaks, and possibly mountain goats or marmots. You'll enjoy an easy trek on marked trails to breathe the purest mountain air and take in the majestic panorama.
Evening: Return to Bishkek. Dinner (not included) and free time.
Included in the Price (Day 1):
Transfer from the airport to the hotel.
Accommodation in a hotel in Bishkek.
Breakfast at the hotel.
Entrance fee to Ala-Archa National Park.
Morning: Breakfast at the hotel. Departure to the Chunkurchak Gorge – a popular winter recreation area.
Day: We begin our exploration of the gorge with a visit to the Sky Bridge – a breathtaking structure offering incredible views of the mountain range. Next, we drive to the Chunkurchak ski resort. Here, you will have the opportunity to ride the chairlift (for an additional fee) to ascend higher and enjoy the panoramas, as well as see the winter resort preparation.
Afternoon: After an active walk and lift ride (optional), a unique experience awaits you – hot thermal baths at a local complex (for an additional fee). Soaking in warm water outdoors, surrounded by snowy mountains, will be the perfect end to the day and help you recharge.

Day: We will drive along a beautiful mountain road, enjoying views of the frozen river and snowy slopes. We'll take an easy walk to the frozen Kegety mountain waterfall – a fantastic sight where the water has turned into an icy work of art (depending on weather conditions). Next, we head to the Chuy Valley to the next historical point.
Afternoon: Arrival at the Burana Tower – an 11th-century minaret, all that remains of the ancient city of Balasagun, the former capital of the Karakhanid Khaganate and an important stop on the Great Silk Road. Subtle Historical Fact: The tower was originally about 45 meters high, but an earthquake in the 15th century destroyed its upper part, leaving us with the current 25 meters. Here you can walk among the ruins of the ancient city and view the collection of balbals (stone figures).
